    Anyone who play on pokerstars who plays double or nothings play these? These are enormously tough compared to the $10 and $20 games. I also feel like a lot of Russians and South Americans might be cheating at this game because i saw a lot of softplaying.

    Did you find the $52 really hard compared to the $20 and $10?

    But wouldn't you say the play is a bit tougher? I know you may play the same but wasn't it hard doubling up? I mean if you doubled up , i assumed it was when both of you had a decent hand right? Because its hard to take someones stack early in the game unless they got coolered or is a fish.

    It's tougher, sure, people tend to see more flops and there's more pre flop action but I didn't let the change of pace influence my strategy whatsoever...

    There's still spewtards at $52 level, trust me

    Yes, that is what i mean. I don't think that is possible to make 100k profit 24 tabling $16 turbo sngs. That number sounds way too high. I just sharkscoped the 9-10 player turbos highest winners for the year and the best ranked player made $30000 this year. Are you saying this player made $70000 in rakeback or something?

    Say what? It is the total opposite. You arent trying to win the tournament, you are just trying to get top 5 so there is waaay less action preflop. Play it correctly and you are throwing away a lot more hands then you would in a normal sng. I play the turbo and with 1500 chips, it is hard to re-pop it without a strong hand. Near the end with 6 or 7 players, the bluffs can happen just because players will fold 88 if they dont want to lose half their stack if they are pretty much guaranteed a DoN. Hell, i was reraised all in with 6 players and i was 2nd in chips. I folded KK.

    try checking the 6 maxs or the 18 and higher levels... that may lead to higher net profit? not sure though i dont subscribe to sharkscope. but it is def possible because boku has done some crazy shit... although 50+tbaling i guess not 24 tabling...

    I looked at 6 max as well for games under $24 in sngs. I think the best player made $40000 max this year....

    Can you tell me what is your sn by the way? Or did you block yourself on sharkscope? Because I really can't see 100k a year possible in $16 sngs. Did you include rakeback/fpp into this calculation? Because if you made that much money at the $16 turbo sngs on stars... i cannot believe 2nd place only made like $30000....

    I had a refund from stars @ the $50 level for cheaters....DONS are horrid poker players and the game should not exsist. I thought I would try em out got sucked in to this boring game for a few weeks then quit em and month later got a refund. I had so many iffy spots it made me hate poker for a while.
